“Smart Contracts, Dumb Humans”

Joke. "I wrote a smart contract that automatically sends my rent to my landlord. It worked perfectly—until I broke up with my roommate, and now I’m paying double because the code doesn’t do empathy."

Explanation Smart contracts execute exactly as written—no exceptions. This joke underscores a critical flaw: code is rigid, but life is messy. While blockchain promises trustless automation, it lacks human judgment. Once deployed, fixing errors can be costly or impossible.

Mind-Shift Tip:
Automate wisely. The most ‘trustless’ system still depends on the trustworthiness of the person writing the code.

Insight:
Decentralization removes intermediaries—but not responsibility.
